How many times can I say I am tired? I am tired. Explanation needed. I woke up at 5:00 a.m. and arrived at the barn at 6:00 a.m. to bathe and braid. I lloaded Speedy G and left for the show at 7:10 a.m. We drove over an hour to the show and over an hour back home. We arrived home at 2:00 p.m., showered, and then spent the afternoon at our county fair. I think tired is an understatement!
So, this is a very quick description of Sunday's show. Videos and score sheets will be shared later in the week. Top Ten reasons to enjoy show day: 10. I won a $10 Aflac cash prize. Thanks Tehachapi Mountain Chapter CDS! 9. Speedy G did not kick or buck during either canter transition. 8. I changed diagonals from the sitting trot. 7. There was no drama in the warm up arena. 6. I scored an 8 on the Intro B test and NO 5s!!! 5. I scored two 8s on the C test and one of them was for Collective Marks! 4. We scored 65.625% at Introductory B. 3. We scored 65.500% at Introductory C - first out of five riders. 2. Four of the riders were juniors. and the number one reason to enjoy show day ... 1. The score for Introductory Test C is one of the two qualifying scores I need for the September 2012 Regional Adult Amateur Championships! Comments are closed.

About the Writer and RiderI am a lifelong rider.
I began endurance riding in 1996 where I ultimately completed five, one-day 100 mile races, the 200-mile Death Valley Encounter, and numerous other 50, 65, and 75 mile races. I began showing dressage in 2010. Welcome to my dressage journey.
